Cleary’s Pub Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    If you're looking for a place with excellent burgers & fries, this is it!! French fries are like a double fried batter & extra crunchy! Burgers taste like frozen beef patties, which I normally would hate, but they seem to be able to transform them into something amazing, with toasted buttered buns, a charbroiled tasting patty, fresh crispy lettuce and onions, along with thick cut dill pickles. Wash it down with a nice pilsner & you have the perfect meal!!

    We ordered a Cleary's burger, fish and chips and Reuben. Everything was so incredibly, phenomenally good.

    Yesterday's visit found the inside to be way too warm. So we sat on the shaded sidewalk patio. This turned out to be an excellent choice on this beautiful sunny afternoon. Our table was perfectly positioned to people and traffick watch. Grand River is the main drag in Howell. You can see every kind of vehicle from new to old and restored pass by. Then I enjoyed the pedestrian fashion parade. I ordered the blackened sirloin tip salad. Which I found eatable, but would not order again. My friend was happy with the choice of crabcakes. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful. Return trip, you bet.

    Cleary's is definitely consistent. We've been there a few times for meals over the years. When I first started coming here I was too young to even realize there was a bar too. The separate banquet room is quite nice and makes it easy to forget where you are even if you visit the restaurant and bar regularly. The last event I attended there was a baby shower for a friend. We had buffet style pizza and salad, which was good and a nice break from a lot of the food you get at some showers. The long room made it kind of difficult to see some of the opening of gifts, but the plus to that was that it was easy enough to visit if you were at a table at the other end and not interrupt the guest of honor.

    Awesome place inside typical Irish pub, havent been in one of those in a while. We didnt eat, service was a little slow but the atmosphere was perfect and the AC blastin which was excellent considering today's hot weather! Had 2 beers and 2 top shelf shots, $16. Kinda expensive but worth it for a few drinks. Was busy too! Will try their food next time. Thanks!

    I've been to Cleary's three times including today. We go there when visiting our daughter in Brighton. I lived in Great Britain for 3 years and visited a lot of pubs and Cleary's is pretty close to a pub. All the tv's take away from the authentic pub, but this is the U.S. after all. The service was great. Our waitress, Carolyn, kept checking with us. I had the French Dip sandwich and fries. They were excellent. Prices are good. It gets loud when there is a sports game on the tv's. It's obvious this is a local hangout. I would recommend this place and will definitely return.

    It's a bar with typical bar food bar food, prices are good and in my opinion the best thing on the menu are the tasty baked crab stuffed mushrooms. I keep coming back for those. It has an old town atmosphere and service is consistently good.

    Cleary's has always been okay - I dislike the fact that they put normal ground-beef based chili on their Burritos and label it a "wet burrito" - sacrilege! For the most part, the food is edible, albeit bland and unsatisfying. It is a bar, after all.

    I was in here last week for a quick bite to eat after hearing about how good the fish & chips were from this place. I was not disappointed! I wasn't sure what I was going to get at first because the bartender didn't exactly know the size of the fish pieces...I was wanting enough to satisfy my hunger and she said the lunch portion came with 1pc for $5. Let's say the 1pc was more than enough for someone like me because it spanned the entirety of my plate. It was so very yummy, just as the person that recommended it said it would be. Nice, light breading, just enough not to over bear the taste of the fish..cod, I believe...and it was flakey and almost perfect! The fries were great too...no complaints there! The atmosphere is pretty chill and has a small town bar/pub feel. If you love fish & chips..you will love this place!

    Excellent food, great service, friendly staff! Was a Monday night pizza special in summers & fall for years. Great sports bar. And the owner is a real gem. Sorry I waited so long to try the sandwiches and other menu items, but the pizza with its always fresh ingedients and tasty crusts was my favorite! Excellent bar with great choice of beers and liquor. Have been awy a month and miss Clery's a lot. My favorite Michigan pub!

    Cleary's is one of about a dozen restaurants/bars in downtown Howell. We were looking for decent place and came across Cleary's Pub. The main entrance is actually in the back, with parking, not from Grand River, but we weaved our to the hostess. Its a long and some what narrow place. With 6-8 outdoor tables on Grand River and another 40 tables and a bar spots seats too. It was busy, bustling is probably a better word. Noisey with many little groups having a good time. Its sort of an Irish place, with an Irish style menu, which has a number of options, a step up from the standard bar food offerings. I went with the shepard's pie, one of my favorites and the wife had a california chicken sandwich. They both hit the mark. Services was solid, Its a popular place and they do a decent job, its worth trying.

    New menu new food. Have not had a bad meal there since the change. Service is still a little slow but I am never in a hurry to leave. They now have deep-fried pickles which are the best around. Excellent place to eat

    Based only on our first Cleary's experience, we absolutely love this place. I will update after additional visits, but I'm really hoping it wasn't just a fluke. Service was great. Waitress was polite, fast, attentive, checked in on us, got the bill quickly, etc etc. The food was delicious. I can only comment on the smoked-chicken salad and it was spectacular. Prices were fair and the location is great. The decor was interesting (it was nice to see the vintage Howell photos). We'll definitely return.

    The service is not as good as the food. We've been here countless times since moving to Howell. The first time, we went on a Sunday night. The dining room was empty. We were 2 of the maybe 10 customers there. Despite being slow, our waitress was constantly disappearing. Luckily, there was nothing wrong with our food, but it was a hunt to try to get our drinks refilled. The second time: I met a girlfriend on a Tuesday night for appetizers and drinks. We walked in the front door, and a staff member yelled at us to go to the back to be seated. Our mistake, but it isn't particularly clear where the hostess stand is or which door is preferable. Service was hit-or-miss again. When we asked the waitress for a beer/wine list, she told us no, they didn't have one. What? 10 minutes later, she came back and - miracle! - a beer/wine list magically materialized. I ordered the Griz that night, and would not recommend. It was not flavorful, and very greasy - I became very ill later that night. Most recently: We ordered two Deli Reubens for takeout. They were fast, hot, and still our favorite. Also - we met our friends here last week, and while the service was admittedly better than before (even on a busy Friday night with a live music performance), it still wasn't stellar. The food was just as good and the wait for our table was only about 15 minutes. Would recommend to others, but with a grain of salt.

    The only Irish draft beer on tap is Guinness, which for many is enough. But this bar is just that a bar that happens to have an Irish name. Luckily there is an Irish bottled beer offered. They had a band playing and that was nice.

    It's a sports bars with decent food and cheap beer. The breadsticks are delicious and their pizzas are great! It's a 4 star place compared to the other choices in the area.

    Not what we expected! We were looking for something close to the Howell Theatre and were in quite a bit of a rush. Both my husband and I had Delmonico steaks and were blown away by the flavor. The service was fantastic and ambience was great. We'll be back. I'm excited to try other items on the menu, but can't stop thinking about that yummy steak. Whoda thunk it?

    A typical Irish pub with TVs and a lot of local knick knacks and photos filling the restaurant. There was a leak in the ceiling right when you walked in, and the bucket was full of just yellow, dirty water. Not exactly a great first impression. The furniture is a bit outdated, and when I sat in the booth, the entire seat cushion slid back. I had the fish sandwich, which is apparently a new item. It's one big, beer-battered piece of fish, perfectly crisp and fried. The fries were pretty good. This probably wouldn't be my first stop when I'm visiting, but I could see how I'd be a regular if I lived there because of their happy hour specials, and I'm intrigued by their weekend live entertainment.

    When I walk into a restaurant, I want to smell food. We ate here like 3 times while visiting my sister and never smelled food cooking. I think everything is frozen and microwaved. My sis loves this place, but I can't find anything positive except they have Oberon on draft. Burgers - eh Shepherds pie - eh Pizza was okay. There are so many better choices to eat. Come here for the beer.

    We live a few blocks from here and decided to go there for my wife's birthday dinner since we eat here occasionally on Mondays for their great pizza special that is actually really good! Unfortunately the food was was really bad bar food (yes I know this place is a bar/restaurant). The burger looked like a nice round frozen patty and the chicken Alfredo was horrible. I am not sure what happened to the food here since it used to be really good a few years ago and has gone down hill. I am very disappointed since we live so close to here and really enjoy the pizza. We will not be visiting here again for anything but pizza and breadsticks. Hopefully they don't screw that up and they can get their act together and improve the food! Decided to bump them up to three stars since two was not fair.

    Where to start? Lobster Mac was good. I ordered wings in a bar. I expected at least a decent meal. The wings were straight out of the cooler and tossed in a warm sauce. The chicken was cold to the bone, back to the kitchen they went. The replacement Reuben was good. Ordered two Bloody Mary, first came in a small old fashion glass no garnish, the second came in a tall drinking glass with three olives, a pickle, and celery all floating in the glass. Since it is unlikely we will ever return as we were passing through, If we were local, we might give it another chance based on the Lobster Mac. $50 tab and food sent back, there must be better place in town to eat.

    One of our Howell go-to places when we have visitors from out of town. Irish-themed pub in downtown Howell that gets a little too busy at peak times (Friday dinner time), but usually offers pretty good service. The pizza is pretty good, especially with the pub's garlic butter on the crust. We're also fans of the fish and chips, the griz sandwich (but ask for it on a sub bun instead of a wrap) and the fries. Not a huge fan of the sweet and sour chicken wrap, it was dry and lacked flavor, and the California chicken sandwich, also a little dry and could have used thicker avocado slices. Prices are average, but they have great beer specials during Detroit Tigers games.
